1And the Lord made ready a great fish to take Jonah into its mouth; and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.
2Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
3In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice.
4For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.
5And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
6The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
7I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.
